My friends, an opporunity has arisen for me to get the last hold out of my friends to move to PC with the release of BF4 and the PS4. We were talking the other day and he is now more open to the idea since we are all going to drop the coin on a PS4 anyways.
I don't mind playing on the console at all, I just don't want to have to drop $600+ on a PS4 when all it will be for is to play BF4 with the group. The single player exclusives just don't interest me anymore. I am going to have a PC anyway because of DotA 2 and a few other games they don't play. The others have PCs for other reasons as well.
I need a build list that is CLOSE to the cost of the PS4 (I think it will be $499 for a base and $599 for a "premium" model).
Assume you start from nothing. You need Monitor, Mouse, and KB too.
There are no rules. AMD, Radeon, Nvidia, Intel, or hell buy this dell, replace power supply, and drop this vid card in and go to work.
What performance should we target? I think BF4 will be pretty close to BF3 requirement wise. So current mid range hardware should be able to hit medium-high at 1080P with some AA and AF?
The more we find out about BF4 we can tweak it, until then just ASSUME BF3 if need be.
